[HPforGrownups] Who'll be a prefect?

No: HPFGUIDX 11655

Actually, I've always suspected there are only four prefects per year, one for each House, and in seventh year there are two prefects, a Head Girl, and a Head Boy. So I think it
will just be Hermione. But it would be interesting if it were Ron instead...<g>.
